CHARLOTTE, NJ c., Feb. 26.-Judge
William II. BYIum returned to his home
in this city Thursday after an absence of
six weeks in Florida, and found that while
he was away his residence had been entered
by burglars. A trunk which contained
$4,000 wort, of so.ld sIlyerware had been
broken open by burglars and all the silver
ware stolen, The loss of this pEfuabie
ware greatly disturbed Judge Bynuh, and.
in his efforts to get clue, he made a visit
to the Office of the Southern Express COM
pany in the hope of finding a trace of its
shipment In this, however, he was un-
successful, and he had turned to leave the
Office when one of the clerks called him
back. ''Lhere is a heavy box for you here"
said the clerk, 'shipped from New York" :"
''Well, the judge answered, abstractedly.
':send it down to my house." Judge By
mum then returned to his law Office and all
thoughts of the box passed from his mind,
but when he went home to dinner he found
heavy, iron-hooped box awaiting him.
Curious to know what the box contained
he proceeded to open it. He found that it
| was double box. When the inner lid
| was removed he was astonished to see his
| missing silverware. Not so much as a
spoon was missing. and the ware had not
been injured in the slightest degree.

Preparing Olive Oil.

The olives are placed between two mill
stones and ground into paste, stones and
all. This paste is put into jute bags,
which are piled up in an ordinary press
and subjected to pressure furnished by a
screw. The oil oozes through the bags,
and is caught in pans or vessels, and then
bottled. The most remarkable feature Of
the process is that some four or five differ
ent qualities are obtained from one lot of
olives. This is explained by the fact that
the oil ooziug out at first is the result only
of slight pressure, consequently is sweeter
and lacks the ranker favor of the second,
third, and fourth grades, which partake
more or less of the olive stones. The last
grade is frequently so rank that it cannot
be used for eating purposes, but instead j;
used as the basic matter in the manufac-
ture of soap, ETC. The residue or paste
left after the oil has been extracted under
goes chemical treatment, and the oil OBJ
tanned from this is used as lubricant

anecdotes about Rev. DR.. schaff:

The Chambersburg, Pa, Valley SPIRIT,
of last week, contains the following anee-
dotes about Rev. DIR. Schaff, well-known
minister of the Reformed Church, which
will be enjoyed by many of our readers
The article says THAT intellectual giant
and expounder of difficult theological doc
trines was child outside of his study, thl
pulpit or his class room. A story told\
many years ago and now being reprinted
illustrates this admirably.
Soon after DIR. Schaff' marriage the
question as to the disposal of the kitchen
refuse came up. A neighbor advised the
Doctor to buy a small pig and the advice
was accompanied by an offer to sell him
one. Accordingly the pig was purchased,
and Immediately another problem came up
to be solved, viz how to get pen for it.
Casting about, the Doctor discovered
large dry goods box in which some of his
household effects had been received. lie
set to work with saw and hammer, and with
pieces of boards from the box he soon con-
structed pen, which was only little lar
ger than the pig itself. In few weeks
the pig grew SO that it hardly had room to
turn around, and another difficult question
had to be settled. The man who had solved
knotty theological problems with ease and
rapidity was nonplussed here. He studid
over this matter several days; meanwhil
the pig was hourly getting larger He
nally decided to go over to the neighboi
from whom it was purchased, and ask ID

evenly and give him another small pig for
the large one that had outgrown its pen.
The exchange was made and DIR. Schaff
frequently told his intimate friends of tn
great kindness his neighbor had extendd
him in giving him little pig for a big ON
without any charge. And the Doctor was
in earnest, too.
The incidents in which DIR. Schah tig-
ures during his life at Mercersbmg are
numerous. He obtained his wife in Mary
land, and on one occasion, before his mar
riagp. he started on horseback to visit her.
Howas impatient Of the journey and kept
his steed on gallop nearly the entire trip.
When he arrived in Hagerstown some OF
his friends demonstrated with him. @You'll
kill your horse" they urged. DR.. Schatf
looked for second disdainfully at the horse
and incredulously at his advisers and then
burst forth in his impetuous way: "Whatl
I'm on fe wings Of lovel' And he started
the tired nag on gallop out of town. 1t
should be said for the benefit Of those who
never heard DIR. Schaff that the letters ''fe
stood for athe" in his speaking vocabulary.
